As a bit of an amateur I found the 45 minute cement was going off too quick on lengths over 3M when mixing, buttering up and installing on my own. Good to see there is slower setting. Also like the technique using the broad knife to butter up a bit quicker than I was with a paint scraper about half the width
Fkn hell - I am so sick of patching drywall. Yes yes... I know it's easy to repair.. and it's fireproof.. and it's cheap.. and and and... But the stuff is fragile.
Very informative video for beginners. Well done. I would recommend using EPS plaster-coated covings. EPS provides a durable, water-resistant material that's still lightweight, while the plaster coating gives an attractive smooth texture. Google this company - Homemerce - if you’re based in the UK.
Could someone make it anymore confusing?!? Omg! Imagine making a video that was actually more simple Gyprock TV. Seriously, this is so confusing. Very very poor.
I’m a qualified Aussie gybrock plasterer fixing flushing and all types of cornice,I cut all my cornice on the concrete floor in the main living area using a ply timber miter box ,i can measure and cut without moving up and down the cornice by sliding the cornice on its back with the white lufkin tradesmen tape it’s got red 100 mm stages for dark areas ,I butter up with a 6 inch SS Hyde broad knife 300 mm trowel use a sausage technique with the trowel applying a 10 mm bead closer inside lip more on ceiling instead of bleeding out ,measured all the rooms left to right,cut turn upside down diagonal in each room then I mix a 60 minute red flexible 8ltr bucket,sit the bucket on a crate,mud up on my own throw a 3.6 75 mm cove feed the internal cornice first slide back and forth t
Wow!! Thank you!! I’m in Virginia and just found out about this stuff and your comment is awesome!! Just know that you really truly helped a stranger today!! Thank you
My Dad was a builder. In days past the builder could do everything but on big or difficult jobs he got in the experienced guys. My Dads motto is do it right, do it once. My motto is if you don't need a degree to do it then google it. 😆
Very strange, I've hire a builder to do square set finish bulkheads in my house all around the ceiling, and on the square where the bulkhead meets the ceiling and the wall ( internal corners) he doesn't use a basecoat and tape like in the video. Instead he is using No more gap or "gap filler". Any thoughts on that? Is that acceptable?
recently we had tradespeople over installing our cornices and they used the gyprock cement to secure the cornice which seems standard but they also used a staple gun at particular points of the cornice on the wall. does anyone know if that is the correct process for cornice installation?
I was watching a crown molding video and i read a comment i guess the guy was Australian and he mentioned using plaster cornice. I didnt know what that was so i looked it up. I supposes there is different types but this just looks like drywall. Ive never seen or heard of this before. Its funny what other countries do compared to your own. Very interesting.
As someone who has done this for a job for 20 years this is really irresponsible tricking people into thinking it is easy, the home handyman is going to get the wrong idea and make an absolute dogs breakfast of his renovation. It took me 12+ months to learn how to do this properly
